Molecular and functional analysis of mouse decay accelerating factor (CD55).
Molecular cloning of mouse decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55) predicted two forms of the molecule, one transmembrane (TM) and the other glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored; these are encoded by separate genes termed Daf-GPI and Daf-TM. In the present study several additional isoforms of mouse DAF, generated by alternative splicing from these genes, are described. Northern-blot analys...
متن کاملDecay accelerating factor (CD55): a target for cancer vaccines?
The 791Tgp72 antigen has been used successfully as a target for tumor imaging and T-cell immunotherapy. We have characterized this antigen using the monoclonal antibody 791T/36 as a 72/66 kDa doublet. NH2-terminal protein sequencing of the two bands revealed identity with the complement regulatory protein CD55. Antibodies recognizing different domains of CD55 were also shown to bind to the puri...
متن کاملStatin-Induced Expression of Decay-Accelerating Factor Protects Vascular Endothelium
Complement-mediated vascular injury is important in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Because recent evidence shows that statins have beneficial effects on endothelial cell (EC) function independent of lipid lowering, we explored the hypothesis that statins modulate vascular EC resistance to complement through the upregulation of complement-inhibitory proteins. H...

متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 adapted to growth in RD cells binds to decay-accelerating factor (CD55).
A coxsackievirus B3 (CB3) isolate adapted to growth in RD cells shows an alteration in cell tropism as a result of its capacity to bind a 70-kDa cell surface molecule expressed on these cells. We now show that this molecule is the complement regulatory protein, decay-accelerating factor (DAF) (CD55). Anti-DAF antibodies prevented CB3 attachment to the cell surface. Radiolabeled CB3 adapted to g...
